"Fighting With a Passion" - Thorichthys pasionis

[notho2000]

I have two pair of Thorichthys pasionis that are about 14 months old in a 90G tank. Up until now, they have pretty much been minding their own business. But today, I noticed that the pairs were "taking an interest" in one another (quite an understatement). They are trying to secure sites for breeding... one pair in a flower pot at the front of the tank, and the other, back behind a wall of flower pots. Each is obviously feeling threatened by the other pair's presence, and is getting rather agitated. Here they are, in full breeding dress , going at it... 'fin to fin'. (I couldn't resist :lol: ).

Awesome looking fish! They look better than firemouths IMO.

I agree, I like their coloration much more.

Great video and they look great. I guess that is the best breeding spot in the tank.

Hahaha that video is great. I love when fish square up. It's just comical to me. I currently have two pairs of Bolivian rams in my 55 that flare up and have mock charges. Makes me laugh every time. Of course I would stop them if it got out of hand. Great looking fish too!
